Feld dice-action point salad, 2P sweet spot

Decisions come at a steady pace (7/10) — engaged without being exhausting. Interaction is light (4/10); it leans toward parallel play. Direct attacks are minimal (2/10) — the friction comes from contention, not aggression.
Every score is on a 0–10 scale. The rubric and methodology behind these numbers is documented in the README.
